Function astro::orbit::parabolic::passage_through_node [−] [src]

pub fn passage_through_node(w: f64, q: f64, T: f64, node: &Node) -> (f64, f64)

Computes the time of passage of a body through a node of a parabolic orbit and it's radius vector at that time

Returns

(time_of_pass, rad_vec)

time_of_pass: Time of passage through the node, in Julian (Ephemeris) day
rad_vec : Radius vector of the body at the time of passage | in AU

Arguments

w : Argument of the perihelion | in radians
q : Perihelion distance | in AU
T : Time of passage in perihelion, in Julian (Ephemeris) day
node: Ascend or Descend node

Search Tricks

Prefix searches with a type followed by a colon (e.g. fn:) to restrict the search to a given type.

Accepted types are: fn, mod, struct, enum, trait, type, macro, and const.

Search functions by type signature (e.g. vec -> usize or * -> vec)
